Gentlemen,
I have a large vinyl siding job coming up. In the past, I've just hammered. But the old bones got me thinking about a siding nailer. I've never had or used one. They look an awful lot like my coil roofing nailer - Bostitch even makes an adapter for one of theirs that converts it into a siding nailer!
Anyway - not suggesting any crazy like using my roofing nailer - but I have seen references to using a framing nailer. I might use a dedicated siding nailer three more times in my life - whereas a framing nailer I'd use a fair bit in the coming years.
Can you really do vinyl siding with a framing nailer? If so, any special tricks? Or best models for the job?
Thanks.
